Unwavered by the recent condescending action of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu against her hours ago, actress Funke Akindele has declared herself the Deborah of Lagos state and has continued in her political campaign for the Lagos state gubernatorial seat.
Bola Tinubu had warned those campaigning for him not to mention the name of Funke Akindele, Nollywood actress and PDP’s Lagos gubernatorial running mate, in his presence.
Tinubu rebuked his supporters during a campaign held in Lagos on Wednesday.

At the political outing, his supporters had sung a campaign song. They described Funke Akindele as a political ‘ant’ compared to the incumbent Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
“Who is Funke Akindele before Sanwo-Olu of Lagos? She is an ant,” the supporters sang.
But Tinubu fumed: “Don’t even bother to mention her name in my presence. It is an insult. It is disrespectful.”
In a swift reaction on social media moments ago, Funke Akindele shared a video of herself, proudly highlighting her achievement and why her dreams are valid for the girl child.

Funke Akindele calls out Lagos state government over flood crisis
Weeks ago, Funke Akindele, called out the Lagos state government over the recent flood scare.
This comes after several warning signals were sent out on a predicted flood about to hit the state.
Akindele tagged the state Government as irresponsible for not declaring a state of emergency, especially in the riverine communities.

She took to her Instagram page and wrote, “After speaking with people in several wards across the state, I feel compelled to share my concern about the safety of Lagosians in all areas of the state.
“The Lagos state government put out a flood warning for several parts of the state. But it is yet to announce a state of emergency or share a detailed response plan in the event that flooding endangers the lives of citizens.
The fact that Lagos state has not declared a state of emergency, especially in the riverine communities, is extremely irresponsible. And puts so many Lagosians at risk. Our riverine communities do not have functional gutters, flood canals built to channel flood water are filled with silt & blocked by refuse and our waterways are overrun by water hyacinths. It is a disaster waiting to happen.”
